Arash,

There is I think a little bit of confusion over Knoppix version here. 
Knopper produces multiple different versions with the same version 
number. But to distinguish them, Knopper uses release dates, for 
example we have Knoppix 3.2 released on 2003-07-18 and Knoppix 3.2 
released on 2003-08-12.

These versions are different, their main difference is that they have 
different hardware support. In new versions, new drivers get updated 
and included.

I just think, that the version that Shabdix 0.8 is based on, is an older 
Knoppix 3.2, than the Knoppix 3.2 that you try. 
Now, if you tell us the exact release date of your Knoppix 3.2, and 
Arash B tells us exactly what version of Knoppix 3.2 is Shabdix based 
upon, then I think we might be able to solve this confusion.
